3 OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN MIXING AND APPLYING IN THE VICINITY OF AQUATIC AREAS SUCH AS LAKES, RESERVOIRS, RIVERS, PERMANENT STREAMS, MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS, ESTUARIES, AND COMMERCIAL FISH FARM PONDS. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all of these factors when making application decisions. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator. For Aerial Applications For aerial applications, the spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices. The minimum practical boom length should be used, and must not exceed 75% of the wing span or rotor diameter. Spray should be released at the lowest possible height consistent with good pest control and flight safety. Applications more than 10 feet above the crop canopy should be avoided. Importance of Droplet Size An important factor influencing drift is droplet size. Small droplets (< microns) drift to a greater extent than large droplets. Within typical equipment specifications, applications should be made to deliver the largest droplet spectrum that provides sufficient control and coverage. Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the airstream as much as possible and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure. Wind Speed Restrictions Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size, canopy, and equipment specifications determine drift potential at any given wind speed. Do not apply when winds are greater than 15 mph and avoid gusty and windless conditions. Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be reduced by avoiding applications when wind direction is toward the aquatic area. Restrictions During Temperature Inversions Do not make aerial or ground applications during temperature inversions. Drift potential is high during temperature inversions. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical mixing. Mixing and Loading Requirements To avoid potential contamination of groundwater, use a properly designed and maintained containment pad for mixing and loading of any pesticide into application equipment. If containment pad is not used, maintain a minimum distance of 25 feet between mixing and loading area and potential surface to groundwater conduits such as field sumps, uncased well heads, sinkholes, or field drains.

4 Airblast (Air Assist) Instructions for Tree Crops and Vineyards Airblast sprayers carry droplets into the canopy of trees/vines via a radially, or laterally directed air stream. The following specific drift management practices must be followed: Adjust deflectors and aiming devices so that spray is only directed into the canopy. Block off upward pointed nozzles when there is no overhanging canopy. Use only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and provide good coverage. Do not allow the spray to go beyond the edge of the cultivated area (i.e., turn off sprayer when turning at end rows). Only spray inward, toward the orchard or vineyard, for application to the outside rows. No-Spray Zone Requirements for Soil and Foliar Applications Do not apply by ground within 25 feet or by air within 150 feet of lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, marshes or natural ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish farm ponds. Runoff Management Do not cultivate within 10 feet of the aquatic areas to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip. When using MIDASH Forte on erodible soils, Best Management Practice for minimizing runoff should be employed. Consult your local Natural Resources Conservation Service for recommendations in your use area. Endangered Species Notice Under the Endangered Species Act, it is a federal offense to use any pesticide in a manner that results in the death of a member of an endangered species. Consult your local county bulletin, County Extension Agent, or Pesticide State Lead Agency for information concerning endangered species in your area. Resistance Management Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. As with any insecticide, the use of this product should conform to resistance management strategies established for the use area. MIDASH Forte contains a Group 4A insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent tolerance to Group 4A insecticides may eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A insecticides are used repeatedly as the predominant method of control for targeted species. This may eventually result in partial or total loss of control of those species by MIDASH Forte and to other Group 4A insecticides. The active ingredient in MIDASH Forte is a member of the neonicotinoid chemical class. Insect pests resistant to other chemical classes have not shown cross-resistance to MIDASH Forte. In order to maintain susceptibility to this class of chemistry in insect species with high resistance development potential, it is recommended that for each crop season: 1) only a single, soil application of MIDASH Forte be made; 2) foliar applications of products from the same class not be made following a long residual, soil application of MIDASH Forte, or other neonicotinoid products. If a soil application of MIDASH Forte has not been made during a crop season and foliar applications are to be made, avoid using a block of more than three consecutive applications of MIDASH Forte and/or other Group 4A products having the same or similar mode of action. Following a neonicotinoid block of treatments, Sharda USA LLC strongly encourages the rotation to a block of applications with effective products with a different mode of action before using additional applications of neonicotinoid products. Using a block rotation or windowed approach, along with other IPM practices, is considered an effective use strategy for preventing or delaying an insect's ability to develop resistance to this class of chemistry.

5 Foliar applications of MIDASH Forte or other Group 4A products from the neonicotinoid chemical class should not be used on crops previously treated with a long-residual, soil-applied product from the neonicotinoid chemical class. Other Group 4A, neonicotinoid products used as foliar treatments include: Actara, Assail, Calypso, Centric, Clutch, Couraze, Galiant, Impulse, Intruder, Leverage, Nuprid, Pasada, Provado, Trimax Pro, and Venom. Other Group 4A, neonicotinoid products used as soil/seed treatments include Admire Pro, Advise, Alias, Belay, Couraze, Cruiser, Gaucho, Macho, Macho Max, Nuprid, Platinum, Venom, and Widow. Contact your Cooperative Extension specialist, certified crop advisor, and/or product manufacturer for additional insect resistance management recommendations. Also, for more information on Insect Resistance Management (IRM), visit the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) on the web at DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the Agency responsible for pesticide regulation. AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry intervals. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.

PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water is: Coveralls Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material such as barrier laminate, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, neoprene rubber, natural rubber, polyethylene, polyvinylchoride (PVC), or Viton Shoes plus socks Page 5 of 56

6 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS For soil applications of MIDASH Forte, direct product into the seed or root-zone of crop. Failure to place MIDASH Forte into root-zone may result in loss of control or delay in onset of activity. MIDASH Forte may be applied with ground or chemigation application equipment. Do not apply MIDASH Forte in enclosed structures such as planthouses or greenhouses except as specified in the TOBACCO, CUCURBIT VEGETABLES, FRUITING VEGETABLES and GREENHOUSE VEGETABLES, (Mature plants in production greenhouses): Cucumber, Tomato only sections of this label. Applications of MIDASH Forte for foliar applications must be applied as a directed or broadcast foliar spray. Thorough coverage of foliage is necessary without runoff for optimum insecticidal efficacy. Use adequate spray volumes, properly calibrated application equipment, and spray adjuvant if necessary to obtain thorough coverage. Failure to provide adequate coverage and retention of MIDASH Forte on leaves and fruit may result in loss of insect control or delay in onset of activity. Apply MIDASH Forte with properly calibrated ground or aerial application equipment. Use minimum spray volumes unless otherwise specified on crop specific application sections, 10 gallons by ground and 5 gallons by air. MIDASH Forte may also be applied by overhead chemigation (see additional information in "Chemigation" section of this label below) if allowed in crop specific application section. When applied as a soil application, optimum activity of MIDASH Forte results from applications to the root-zone of plants to be protected. The earlier MIDASH Forte is available to a developing plant, the earlier the protection begins. MIDASH Forte is continuously taken into the roots over a long period of time and the systemic nature of MIDASH Forte allows movement from roots through the xylem tissue to all vegetative parts of the plant. This results in extended residual activity of MIDASH Forte, the control of insects, and the prevention and/or reduction of virus transmission or symptom expression, and plant health benefits. The rate of MIDASH Forte applied affects the length of the plant protection period. Use higher rates within the listed rate range when infestations occur later in crop development or where pest pressure is continuous. MIDASH Forte will generally not control insects infesting flowers, blooms, or fruit. Additional crop protection may be required for insects feeding in, or on these plant parts, and for insects not listed in the crop-specific, pests-controlled sections of this label. Additionally, specific MIDASH Forte application directions are also provided in the crop-specific sections of this label. Suppression or less than complete control of certain diseases and insect pests including reduced feeding may also result from a MIDASH Forte application. Complete control of these pests/diseases may require supplemental control measures. MIDASH Forte use on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial planting is generally not permitted but may be allowed under state specific, supplemental labeling. As with any insecticide, care must be taken to minimize exposure of MIDASH Forte to honey bees and other pollinators. Do not use MIDASH Forte on crops requiring bee pollination during bloom and a minimum of 10 days prior to bloom. Additional information on MIDASH Forte uses for these crops and other questions may be obtained from the Cooperative Extension Service, PCAs, consultants, or local Sharda USA LLC representatives. Make application only to plants grown in field-type soils, potting media, or mixtures thereof. Do not apply to plants grown in non-soil medias such as perlite, vermiculite, rock wool, or other soil-less media, or plants growing hydroponically. Page 6 of 56

7 Pre-mix MIDASH Forte with water or other appropriate diluent prior to application. Keep MIDASH Forte and water suspension agitated to avoid settling. Do not apply more than 0.5 Ib. active ingredient per crop season regardless of formulation or method of application. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS To prepare the application mixture, add a portion of the required amount of water to the spray tank and with agitation, add MIDASH Forte. Complete filling tank with balance of water needed. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mixing and application. MIDASH Forte may also be used with other pesticides and/or fertilizer solutions. Please see "Compatibility" section of this label. When tank mixtures of MIDASH Forte and other pesticides are involved, prepare the tank mixture as described above and follow suggested "Mixing Order" below. Mixing Order When pesticide mixtures are needed, add wettable powders or wettable granules first, MIDASH Forte and other suspension concentrate (flowable) products second, and emulsifiable concentrates last. Ensure good agitation as each component is added. Do not add an additional component until the previous is thoroughly mixed. If a fertilizer solution is added, a fertilizer/pesticide compatibility agent may be needed. Maintain constant agitation during both mixing and application to ensure uniformity of spray mixture. Compatibility Test compatibility of the intended mixture before adding MIDASH Forte to the spray or mix tank. Add proportionate amounts of each ingredient in the appropriate order to a pint or quart jar, cap, shake for 5 minutes, and let set for 5 minutes. Do not use if poor mixing or formation of precipitates that do not readily redisperse. This indicates an incompatible mixture. CHEMIGATION Types of Irrigation Systems: Foliar chemigation applications of MIDASH Forte may be made to crops through overhead sprinkler systems if specified in crop-specific application sections. Soil chemigation applications of MIDASH Forte may only be made to crops through chemigation as specified in crop-specific application sections and only through low-pressure systems specifically identified for a given crop. Do not apply MIDASH Forte through any other type of irrigation system. Make foliar chemigation applications of MIDASH Forte as concentrated as possible. Retention of MIDASH Forte on target site of insect infestation is necessary for optimum activity. Chemigation of MIDASH Forte in water volumes exceeding.10 inches are not permitted. See crop-specific application sections of the label for more information. Uniform Water Distribution and System Calibration: The irrigation system must provide uniform distribution of treated water. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. The system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the rates specified. If you have questions about calibration, contact Cooperative Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. Chemigation Monitoring: A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. Drift: Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Page 7 of 56

8 Required System Safety Devices: The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and lowpressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. Using Water from Public Water Systems: Public water systems means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional reduced-pressure zone, back flow preventer (RPZ), or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system must be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and to top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional automatic quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional normally closed solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

Make application only to plants grown in field-type soils, potting media, or mixtures thereof. Do not apply to plants grown in non-soil medias such as perlite, vermiculite, rock wool or other soil-less media, or plants growing hydroponically. Do not apply to immature plants since phytotoxicity may occur. Make application when infestation pressure surpasses threshold and beneficials are not able to maintain pest populations below damage thresholds. Repellency of bumble bee pollinators and negative effects on some beneficials (Orius spp.) can occur when MIDASH Forte is applied. Many varieties of vegetables have been tested for tolerance to MIDASH Forte and show good safety. However, certain varieties may show more sensitivity to MIDASH Forte. Treat a few plants before treating the whole greenhouse. Page 15 of 56

17 Planthouse Application Instructions 1 per 1000 plants Aphids, Whiteflies 0.05 Maximum amount MIDASH Forte applied in the planthouse: 0.05 fluid ounces ( Ib A.I.) per 1000 plants. Maximum number MIDASH Forte applications in planthouse: 1 1Use not permitted in CA unless otherwise directed by supplemental labeling. Applications: Apply specified dosage to seedlings in trays in the planthouse, targeting soil media (tray drench), not more than 7 days prior to transplanting, in one of the following manners: Uniform, broadcast high-volume foliar spray, followed immediately by sufficient overhead irrigation to wash MIDASH Forte from foliage into potting media without loss of gravitational liquid from the bottom of the tray. Failure to wash MIDASH Forte from foliage may result in reduced pest control. Injection into overhead irrigation system, using adequate volume to thoroughly saturate soil media without loss of gravitational solution from the bottom of the tray. The application made in the planthouse will only provide short-term protection and is not intended as a substitution for a field application. An additional field application must be made within 2 weeks following transplanting to provide continuous protection. Applications of higher rates within the listed rate range or increased number of applications in planthouse may result in significant plant injury. Handle transplants carefully during setting to avoid dislodging treated potting media from roots. Important Note: Not all varieties of fruiting vegetables have been tested for tolerance to MIDASH Forte applied to seedling flats. Treat a small number of plants to confirm tolerance for 7 days prior to treating entire planthouse. Page 17 of 56

Applications: Apply specified rate as a broadcast or directed foliar spray to infested area as pest populations begin to build. Thorough uniform coverage is necessary to achieve optimum control. A spray adjuvant may be used to improve coverage. MIDASH Forte may not knockdown established and heavy insect populations. Two applications may be required to achieve control. Scout fields and retreat if needed. MIDASH Forte may be tank mixed with other insecticides for knockdown of pests or for improved control of other pests. For pepper weevil, apply specified dosage of MIDASH Forte by ground equipment only, timing applications prior to a damaging population becoming established. Good coverage of foliage and fruit is necessary for optimum control. Applications of MIDASH Forte must be incorporated into a full-season program where alternations of effective products from multiple classes of chemistry and different modes of action are utilized in a blocked or windowed approach. For additional information, please contact your Sharda USA LLC representative, Extension Specialist or crop advisor. When targeting adult whiteflies, use higher rates within the listed rate range.
